The Broken Giraffe
My client wanted to write a children's book about wildlife conservation, the dangers of poaching, and why working together to help endangered animals is important. From October 2016- February 2018 I worked to create emotion driven characters, colorful scenery, and I challenged myself to illustrate animals more realistically to help children feel and believe in all the animals and people in the book.
The Menagerie
I created a cover page for this book that tells a story about a family who owned numerous animals in a seaside house. With news about a hurricane heading their way, the family had to evacuate and could not take all the animals with them, so the parents had to decide which ones to surrender. With previous illustration experience, I challenged myself to keep creating realistic looking animals and this time have them bond with the children to show how painful surrendering a pet is.
